# mongoolia

Keep your [Mongoose](http://mongoosejs.com/) schemas synced with [Algolia](http://www.algolia.com)

> While this plugin was created by Algolia, it is not an officially supported API client. It is possible that future major versions of Mongoose break compatibility, or require changes.

This plugin will automatically synchronise your models with an Algolia index every time a new document is added, updated or removed.

You can also index your whole collection if you didn't use this plugin when you started using mongoose.

## How to

**Only supports mongoose v4**

First install the library:

* `> yarn add mongoolia` OR
* `> npm add mongoolia -S`

Then you need to specify which fields of your schema you want to index with Algolia and register the plugin to your mongoose model created with this schema:

```js
// ES6
import mongoose from 'mongoose';
import mongoolia from 'mongoolia';

// ES5
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const mongoolia = require('mongoolia').default;

// Pass `{algoliaIndex: true}` to push theses attributes for indexing to Algolia
const BookSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
title: { type: String, required: true, algoliaIndex: true },
author: { type: String, required: true, algoliaIndex: true },
description: { type: String, required: true, algoliaIndex: true }
});

// Specify your Algolia credentials which you can find into your dashboard
BookSchema.plugin(mongoolia, {
appId: 'xxxxx',
apiKey: 'xxxx',
indexName: 'xxxx'
})
```

## Options

| Option name | Type | Description
| - | - | -
| `appId*` | `string` | The Algolia application ID
| `apiKey*` | `string` | The Algolia **admin** API key
| `indexName*` | `string` | The name of the index you want to push data

## Methods

After applying the `mongoolia` plugin to your mongoose model it registers new static methods:

#### `Model.syncWithAlgolia(): Promise`
Index the whole collection into your Algolia index.

#### `Model.clearAlgoliaIndex(): Promise`
Clears your Algolia index and remove `_algoliaObjectID` from your documents.

#### `Model.setAlgoliaIndexSettings(settings: {}, forwardToReplicas: boolean): Promise`
Set one or more settings of the Algolia index, the full settings list is available [here](https://www.algolia.com/doc/api-reference/settings-api-parameters/).

#### `Model.algoliaSearch({ query: string, params?: {}, populate?: boolean }): Promise`
Search into your Algolia index for a specific query. You can customize the search parameters as well.

You can find the full list of search parameters [here](https://www.algolia.com/doc/api-reference/api-parameters/), you should look for settings tagged with `search`.

The server response will look like:

```json

"hits": [
{
"firstname": "Jimmie",
"lastname": "Barninger",
"objectID": "433",
"_highlightResult": {
"firstname": {

}
],
